CHANGES IN reproducer VERSION 0.3.0

NEW FEATURES

Functions including computational procedures used to reproduce the main findings, e.g., tables, in a joint paper: Barbara Kitchenham, Lech Madeyski, Pearl Brereton, “Meta-analysis for Families of Experiments in Software Engineering: A Systematic Review and Reproducibility and Validity Assessment”: transformHgtoZr,

UPDATED FEATURES

CHANGES IN reproducer VERSION 0.2.1

UPDATED FEATURES

Fixed version of the package in README

Added warning to the ExtractMAStatistics function: it works with metafor version 2.0-0, but changes to metafor’s method of providing access to its individual results may introduce errors into the function.

REMOVED FEATURES

removed field dIG.Var.CurtinAve from the data frame returned by the reproduceSimulationResultsBasedOn500Reps1000Obs function (we agreed to write joint paper with Dr Curtin describing corrections to his equations to calculate effect size variances for continuous outcomes of cross-over clinical trials)

CHANGES IN reproducer VERSION 0.1.6

NEW FEATURES

added functions to reproduce simulation data, to calculate effect sizes and their variance discussed in a paper “Effect Sizes and their Variance for AB/BA Crossover Design Studies” by Lech Madeyski and Barbara Kitchenham.

CHANGES IN reproducer VERSION 0.1.3

NEW FEATURES

added general functions

printXTable

cloudOfWords

added functions to reproduce all of the tables, figures and outputs in the paper by Lech Madeyski and Barbara Kitchenham on how variations in experimental designs impact the construction of comparable effect sizes for meta-analysis:
